'In the previous paper in this Journal, we reported the use of capillary sieving electrophoresis to characterize proteins expressed by single cancer cells at specific phases in the cell cycle. Analysis of the data revealed one component with cell cycle-dependent changes in expression at the 99% confidence limit. However, the ... More
Kinetics and apparent activation energy of the reaction of the fluorogenic reagent 5-furoylquinoline-3-carboxaldehyde with ovalbumin.
Journal:J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci
PubMed ID:12880858
'Incomplete labeling of proteins by a derivatizing reagent usually results in the formation of a large number of products, which can produce unacceptable band broadening during electrophoretic analysis. In this paper, we report on the reaction of the fluorogenic reagent 5-furoylquinoline-3-carboxaldehyde (FQ) with the lysine residues of ovalbumin. Mass spectrometry ... More
Solid-phase fluorescent labeling reaction of picomole amounts of insulin in very dilute solutions and their analysis by capillary electrophoresis.

'The fluorescent labeling of peptides at concentrations as low as 10(-8) M can be achieved by using a solid-phase reactor. Using oxidized insulin chain B as a test peptide, we demonstrate the use of an Immobilon CD membrane to capture and preconcentrate peptides. Insulin chain B can then be labeled ... More
MitoTracker Green labeling of mitochondrial proteins and their subsequent analysis by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection.
Authors:Presley AD, Fuller KM, Arriaga EA
Journal:J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci
PubMed ID:12880861
'MitoTracker Green (MTG) is a mitochondrial-selective fluorescent label commonly used in confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. It is expected that this dye selectively accumulates in the mitochondrial matrix where it covalently binds to mitochondrial proteins by reacting with free thiol groups of cysteine residues. Here we demonstrate that MTG can ... More
Analysis of aminophospholipid molecular species by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin modified micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with laser-induced fluorescence detection.
Authors:Zhang L, Hu S, Cook L, Dovichi NJ
Journal:Electrophoresis
PubMed ID:12207317
'Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) with laser-induced fluorescence detection is used for the analysis of three classes of aminophospholipids: phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylserine (PS), and lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) molecular species. 3-(2-Furoyl) quinoline-2-carboxaldehyde (FQ), a fluorogenic dye, was employed for labeling of these phospholipids. The FQ-labeled lipid species were then separated by sodium ... More
